2020 Sloth Tai Chi Virtual Experience

June 16 | July 14

12:00 - 1:00 p.m.

Get inspired by the balance, strength, pace, and flexibility of everyone’s favorite Discovery Zoo resident: Patience! Join us for a virtual introductory Tai Chi class that will begin with an introduction to our Linne’s two-toed sloth, followed by a 45-minute beginner class in the comfort of your own home via Zoom!

Cost is $15 for members ($20 for nonmembers), and class size is limited to 20 participants. Reservations are required. The class is appropriate for novices, but all registrants must be 16 years of age or older. Participants should wear loose, comfortable clothing, and may choose to wear shoes or socks only for the practice. You will need approximately 7 square feet of floor space - enough to take a wide stance and move your arms freely.

    Liability Waiver

    I hereby agree to the following:

    1. I am participating in classes during which I will receive information and instruction about Tai Chi. I recognize that Tai Chi includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation and stress relief. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will adjust the posture or movement, and ask for support from the instructor. I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved.
    2. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in any physical fitness program, including Tai Chi. I represent and warrant that I have no medical condition that would prevent my participation in physical fitness activities. 
    3. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Tai Chi classes, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known and unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. 
    4. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in Tai Chi classes, I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive any claim I may have against the instructor or the Dayton Society of Natural History (DSNH) of the building for injuries or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in classes or workshops held by the DSNH (dba Boonshoft Museum of Discovery). 
    5. That if I participate in other classes or events at the Boonshoft Museum that I will also assume full responsibility for any injuries that may result from my participation, with the same considerations that this waiver stipulates for Tai Chi (items 1-4 above).
